We have done thousands of retirement caricatures, and most of them have been desk/office scenes. In a previous post on the blog for our parent company, Leading Edge Gifts, we interviewed our artist, Eric Jones, and he suggested getting a little more creative with retirement gift caricatures.

I understand a caricature showing someone doing what they do every day would be appropriate, but not as fun as an exaggeration of them doing something they only dream of, or would never do, which is what a caricature truly is. Instead of Herb who has arachnophobia sitting at his desk smiling, why not make him nervously day-dreaming about spiders while his colleague drops a fake spider on his shoulder! Now that’s a caricature!

Here’s one of my favorite examples of taking this advice to heart!

“Really love the way you captured the essence of our subject and Sarasota bay–and in record time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”

Okay, so this one is of my son…so perhaps I am a little biased, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and so does he!Our very generous artist, Eric Jones, gave this to my son when he was elected Student of the Month! He has the framed print hanging in his room, and uses it as his avatar for video games!

We LOVE wedding season around here! And I love talking to the grooms-to-be and listening to all the wacky ideas they come up with for their groomsman!

When a new order comes through and I review the scene description I get a mental picture of what the completed artwork will look like. I was stumped when this one came through; I had no idea how our artist was going to convey photo bombing in a caricature! When I saw the finished product I was once again reminded of just how talented our creative team is. I definitely think he captured it!

Amazing work, its exactly how I pictured it. I know I hope it’ll absolutely love it, thank you so much. -Kimberly H.

One of my favorite things is when our customers want to have someone caricatured on the cover of a magazine. They always come out looking fantastic! How cute would this be on the cover of a photo book?

“Took my vision to the next level. Perfect.” – Micheal B.
